Ebf moms of babies with food allergies

Hello, was just told I have to cut all dairy, soy, wheat, eggs and nuts. What the heck is left?!? I don't know if I can go on meat, veggies, fruit and rice for the next year 😢 any tips?! Any good ideas for snacks anyone recommends?! Starving over here and already missing cheese 😭 TIA!!!

I have avoided all of the above mentioned (except I do some eggs) for the past 4 years. Once you get some good recipes you will be fine. Go on Pinterest and look up Paleo diet. Or get a Paleo cook book. There are so many good recipes!!! Paleo corn dogs are my favorite:-) good luck, you can do it!

Once I eliminated those things I felt so much better physically and mentally. I was thinking you will have to find out about coconut. Many Paleo recipes use coconut flour and coconut oil. I can have coconut but you said no nuts. Not sure if coconut is included for you or not. I really hope you can find some things you like and will fill you up. 😄

In the same boat here, been milk, soy, gluten free for about a month. I've been craving pizza aaaallll week I second (or third) what pp's said. Look up paleo diet recipes, they're good and make you feel healthy and energized, you're going to suffer with the occasional craving but you can do it.

Pea soup (from scratch of course to avoid the no-nos) Extra delicious if you make it with bacon.

Creamy carrot basil soup: one onion, chopped, half a lb of carrots, cut up, sauteed in oil til onions are clear, then add 1 box chicken broth, and about 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves, a dash of nutmeg and salt and 1/3 a cup of white rice. Cook til it's all soft and then put in the blender til smooth.

Google recipes for a vermicelli noodle bowl and just omit the peanuts, and if it calls for any soy sauce use coconut aminos (most of them don't, but they do call for fish sauce).

Barilla makes a gluten free spaghetti (it's made with corn and rice) and many tomato based pasta sauces will be OK (watch out for soy oil). Make some homemade meatballs (purchased ones will contain gluten)

German red cabbage, rouladen, mashed potatoes (without butter, but Earth Balance makes a soy and dairy free margarine - you have to read the labels though because they have a half dozen kinds and some of them do contain soy) For the rouladen, just don't use any flour for browning. Or use a gluten free one.

Snackwise, I love Jackson's Honest Sweet potato chips, and Plentils are amazingly free from the top 8 allergens (including the ones you mentioned) even the dill and sour cream one. www.plentils.com/nutritionals/

I had to give up all dairy. 90% of what I make has cheese in it so it has been hell. It's been 2 months, I've gotten used to it and on the bright side I've lost a ton of weight. Dairy is very high in fat lol. I read labels on everything now and just make different versions of what I make for the rest of the family. It's not fun but my lo is so much better and he doesn't cry like he's in pain so it's worth it. Most babies grow out of it too so that's good

I feel your pain. I'm missing my weekend ice cream binging ritual. A bowl of fresh berries will have to do.
I wish cutting out dairy would equate to losing this baby weight, but no such luck. PCOS is a nasty bitch.
